Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? 26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Romans 14:7-9, We Live Unto the Lord

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 13 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 13 July 2016

The life we have in Christ is purchased with a heavy price. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has to bear the penalty of God’s wrath for our sins. And this sacrifice of our Lord on the cross was enacted once in human history. All who have faith in His atoning work on the cross are freed from the bondage of sin and possess the blessing of eternal life in heaven.

Romans 14:6, Giving Thanks to God

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 12 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 12 July 2016

It is not to say that the Christian ignores how fellow believers live their lives. Rather, his focus is on the building up of fellow believers in the faith. The thankful Christian a blessing to fellow believers. He encourages fellow believers to thanksgiving and praise for all of God’s goodness to His children. Many of the psalms express the psalmists’ praises and thanksgiving to God. One personal favourite is “The Old Hundredeth”.

Romans 14:5-6, Esteeming One Day Above Another

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 11 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 11 July 2016

The principle here is that we make any observance of days for the honour and glory of God and not any self-gratification as it is also being taught in 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Amen.

Acts 5:15-29, We Ought to Obey God

Acts 5:15-29 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. 16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. 17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, 18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

(1) The Fragility of Life

James 4:13-16 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

Romans 14:4, Who Art Thou That Judgest?

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 10 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with 10 July 2016, Devotion, Book of Romans

If believers would more spend time in self-examination than to keep an eye on the shortcoming of others, there would be needful peace and harmony amongst the body of Christ. The believer is precious in God’s sight. The Apostle Paul is moved by the Holy Spirit to instruct believers so that they become better Christians. Be rid of that critical spirit rather have a poverty of spirit as Jesus taught.

Matthew 5:3-4 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

The resulting blessings are given in Matthew 5:7-8 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Romans 14:1-3, Despise Not Whom God Hath Received

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 9 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Book of Romans, 9 July 2016, Devotion

The Apostle Paul is exhorting the church in Rome to receive such Jewish converts into their fellowship even though they may not be a fully practising Christian. The reason given is that God has received such a one. We are not to reject him. Rather, to give them time to understand the faith more fully. Meanwhile, extend to them the right hand of fellowship, accord to them Christian love and kindness though there are these differences. Be willing to accommodate them.

Romans 14:1-2, Receive the Weak in Faith

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 8 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 8 July 2016

The Apostle Paul cites the example when one believer eats everything whilst another believer whose faith is weak eats only vegetables. In such cases, believers are exhorted not to judge one another nor treat each other with contempt or reject one another.

Romans 14:1, Accept the Weak in Faith

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 7 July, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 7 July 2016

Thank God for every care taken to foster Christian unity. It is so needful and glorying to God as the church presents a concerted effort to reach the lost, those who are outside Christ and looking to see true peace and joy on earth through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of God’s people. Amen.
